The Cambridge Seven (John Pollock)
$11.50The True Story of Ordinary Men Used in no Ordinary Way
Harold Schofield, a brilliant Oxford doctor who had laboured as a missionary in China for many years, was on his knees praying, ‘Lord, give me missionaries from British Universities to help in China’.
The day Schofield died, D. E. Hoste applied to Hudson Taylor for mission work in the China Inland Mission (Now Overseas Missionary Fellowship). Schofield’s prayer was answered as seven Cambridge students volunteered to leave behind cozy lives of wealth and privilege to serve God in whatever way they were led.
These seven inspired thousands of others to think seriously of missionary service. Included among them was C.T. Studd, captain of England and the finest cricketer of his day. If he could give all that up, then so could anyone!

Helen Roseveare: On His Majesty’s Service
$8.99Qualified as a doctor, Helen Roseveare packed up her life in England and set off to be a missionary in the Belgian Congo, to set up hospitals and rural clinics. In work that took Helen on long journeys through dense forests, she endured many trials, including a lengthy imprisonment during the Simba Rebellion.

George Whitefield: The Voice That Woke the World
$8.99George Whitefield’s voice was the envy of many a professional actor. He could hold a crowd’s attention like no other! But although he had wanted to be an actor as a young boy, God’s plan was for George to use his voice for much greater things.
After coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior George went on to preach to many people in the United Kingdom, America and the world. He was the first to preach to the slaves of the United States. And it is estimated that he spoke at more than 18,000 sermons during his life.

The Glory of Christ (John Owen)
$16.50To see the glory of Christ is one of the greatest privileges that a Christian can enjoy. Anyone who does not see his glory in this world, will not see his glory in heaven, and no one should look for anything in heaven that he has not experienced in this life. Just as looking directly into the sun darkens our vision, so Christ’s heavenly splendor is too brilliant for our mind’s eye, but in seeing it by faith, we are prepared for heaven. In his immense essence, the infinite God is invisible to our finite human eyes, and will remain so for eternity. Only “in the face of Jesus Christ” can we see God and be filled with peace and rest.

Billy Bray: Saved from the Deepest Pit
$8.99When the earth started to shake and the rocks fell, Billy Bray knew that his life was in great danger. When you’re down a mine shaft, digging for tin, in the dark, damp tunnels, a rock fall could kill you!
Mining in the 1800s was dangerous and still is today. It was a hard life for little pay and safety measures were few and far between. But surviving that rock fall started Billy Bray on a different path – for the first time in a long time he walked home sober. Drink no longer had the same appeal. The jovial, happy-go-lucky guy who made fun of everything – even God – suddenly realized that he had a soul, that he was a sinner, and that he was in danger of spending eternity in the deepest pit there was – hell.
However, God’s plan for Billy was not to leave him in his sin and misery. Billy Bray discovers true happiness in Jesus Christ and his legacy to the Cornish people included lively preaching, newly built chapels and true revivals. Billy was saved from the deepest pit – and went on to tell others that they can also be saved from their sin.

William Wilberforce: The Freedom Fighter (Derick Bingham)
$8.99“No! No!”, cried the little boy. “Please no! I want to stay with my Mother!”
“Be quiet!,”, shouted the man who had roughly pulled his mother from him. She was taken to a raise platform and offered for sale immediately. The heart-broken mother was to be separated from her little boy for the rest of her life.
This was the fate of millions of women and children in the years before slavery was finally abolished. One man stood alone, against nearly all the leaders of his nation, insisting that this hideous practice be made illegal, and his passion gradually transformed the outlook of a nation. His name was William Wilberforce.
It took him 45 years of his life to do it, but William was determined. He would make the business of “slave trading” illegal in England, no matter how long he had to work to do it! This inhumanity had to be stopped, and it took a man with strong faith in Christ and love for people to transform one of the ugliest features of his nation. A story that must be told to every generation!

William Tyndale: The Smuggler’s Flame (Lori Rich)
$8.99William Tyndale lived a life of adventure and danger, dodging the king’s men, fleeing from vicious enemies, and often being forced to meet with smugglers in the dead of night. What brought this well-educated Englishman to be in such spots? Was he an outlaw or a thief? No, Tyndale was no such criminal – he was a man determined to get the Bible into people’s hands!
But in Tyndale’s times and country, the king and other rulers in power considered the Bible a threat to their position and wanted translation and Bible distribution put to a stop. Still, Tyndale’s work was the work of God and it was not to be stopped! Read of how Tyndale bravely stood for the Truth so that we may courageously learn to walk in his footsteps.

What Should I Do? The True Story of Martin Luther and the Reformation
$6.75What would you do if you were hungry and needed your supper? Would you stand outside someone’s door and sing for it? At the boarding school in Eisenach, Martin and his friends had to sing for their supper, as well as working out ways to get some tasty food before bedtime.
Martin spent a lot of time thinking about how to get to heaven. Martin thought that he had to pray for hours on end, eat very little, work very hard and study a great many good books in order to have his sins forgiven. However, as he began to read God’s Word for himself he discovered that the answer was not in doing these things, but by putting his trust in the Lord Jesus Christ.
A wonderful introduction to the life of Martin Luther for children 4 to 12 years of age.

2000 Years of Christ’s Power, Vol. 1: The Age of the Early Church (Nick Needham)
$22.50Every generation has an uncanny tendency to view themselves as more enlightened than those that have gone before. The Church certainly has made mistakes all through history – and yet, no insights which we possess would be possible without the efforts, and even some of the mistakes, of our ancestors.
The first volume of 2,000 Years of Christ’s Power covers the period from the 1st Century AD to the start of the Middle Ages. From the works of Saint Augustine of Hippo to the first apologetic ever penned, this time in history established the foundations of what we take for granted today.

2000 Years of Christ’s Power, Vol 2: The Middle Ages (Nick Needham)
$22.50The Middle Ages were dubbed the ‘Dark Ages’ almost before they had begun to draw to a close. Ever since then, they have continued to be seen as a time of hardship and oppression, full of popes and crusades.
In the second volume of 2,000 Years of Christ’s Power, another side of the Middle Ages shines through though: The continual workings of Christ as He built His kingdom through figures such as Thomas a Kempis and John Wycliffe, who lived and struggled during these centuries. This was far from a period of stagnation; rather it was the fire from which the Reformation was kindled.

2000 Years of Christ’s Power, Vol 3: Renaissance and Reformation (Nick Needham)
$22.50The Renaissance was a reaction against the attitude of the Middle Ages. And the Reformation was the passionate, divisive argument that grew out of it. Catholics, Calvinists, Lutherans, Anabaptists – our present-day divisions were the front-page headlines of the Reformation.
Volume three of 2,000 Years of Christ’s Power, in showing the progression of the Reformation era, and the daring bravery of its figures, presents a period of history from which there are many lessons to be learnt – not least of all, the vibrancy of people’s lives and the courage with which they faced death.

Growing God’s Gifts: The Fruit of the Spirit (Lucy Joy)

When you understand why He gave these – to make you a blessing to others – you start to see that He gave us these to make us more like Jesus in our relationships with our friends. We get to not just know Jesus, but to show Him great and make Him known.
